Why the AFSP Matters
Joining the IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) gives you more than just continuing education hours — it gives you an edge. As an AFSP participant, you earn the official Record of Completion, proving to clients that you’ve gone above and beyond minimum requirements.
Your name is also added to the IRS public directory of return preparers, giving potential clients an easy way to find and verify you. On top of that, you gain limited representation rights with the IRS, setting you apart from unenrolled preparers who can’t offer this level of support.
Most importantly, AFSP status builds trust and credibility, helping you attract and retain more clients by showing that you’re committed to professionalism and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours are included in this course?
You’ll complete 18 Continuing Education hours, including the Annual Federal Tax Refresher (AFTR). All hours are IRS-approved and reported directly to the IRS immediately after completion.
When will my hours show up with the IRS?
Once you finish your course, your credits are reported directly to the IRS right away. You’ll be able to see your hours reflected in your IRS PTIN account.
How do I get my Record of Completion?
After your hours are posted, log in to your IRS PTIN account, review your CE completion, and accept the Circular 230 consent. Once accepted, your official AFSP Record of Completion will be issued by the IRS.
Will my name appear on the IRS directory?
Yes. When you successfully complete the AFSP requirements and accept Circular 230, your name will appear in the IRS public directory of return preparers — giving potential clients an easy way to find and verify you.
Do I have to finish everything at once?
No. TaxSuite CE is 100% online and self-paced. You can complete your CE hours anytime, anywhere, on your schedule.
How many times can I take the AFTR exam?
The IRS only allows two attempts to pass the AFTR exam. Because of this, it’s recommended to review and prepare thoroughly before attempting.
Can I retake the other courses if needed?
Yes. You can retake the other CE courses as often as needed until you complete them successfully. Only the AFTR exam has the two-attempt limit.
Who is this course best for?
This program is designed for PTIN holders and unenrolled preparers who want to maintain compliance, gain credibility, and earn the AFSP Record of Completion.
What happens if I don’t complete my hours?
If you don’t complete the required 18 hours (including the AFTR) by the IRS deadline, you will not receive the AFSP Record of Completion. This means:
✔️You won’t appear in the IRS public directory of return preparers.
✔️You won’t gain limited representation rights with the IRS.
✔️You risk falling behind peers who completed the program.
Is this course really IRS-approved?
Yes — every credit you earn is IRS-approved and reported directly to the IRS immediately after completion.
